Ex-Showroom price
The 2023 Kia Seltos is a better-rounded package than the pre-facelift model. It's also a good choice among the eight other vehicles in this mid-size SUV segment. This car gets a new turbo-petrol engine option, new segment-first features, Level 2 ADAS, and cosmetic changes.
Seltos Engine Specifications
Positives:
The engine is silent and does not sound rough even when driving at 120kmph.
Good pulling power in the DCT auto helps with overtaking both in cities and on highways.
Despite being powerful, the ARAI-claimed fuel efficiency is around 17.9kmpl.
Stable at speeds of up to 120kmph and does not feel like driving a big car.
The iMT makes driving a manual gearbox very convenient.
Overtaking in the iMT is easy when you keep the engine over 1,500rpm.
The gear lever in the iMT has a smooth shifting action with very little effort.
Hill-start assist is standard and prevents it from rolling backwards.
One can drive the iMT Seltos at 40kmph in fifth and sixth gear too.
Negatives:
Lack of response from this engine at low speeds.
First gear in the iMT is sometimes jerky and feels rough at 25kmph.
Not available with a proper manual gearbox; only gets iMT and DCT.
Ride quality feels hard on imperfect roads.
